Solve for x

$$x=\frac{7}{15}\approx 0.466666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$x\times \frac{24}{5.6}=2$$

Expand \frac{24}{5.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x\times \frac{240}{56}=2$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{240}{56} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x\times \frac{30}{7}=2$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{7}{30}, the reciprocal of \frac{30}{7}.

$$x=2\times \frac{7}{30}$$

Express 2\times \frac{7}{30} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{2\times 7}{30}$$

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

$$x=\frac{14}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{14}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{7}{15}$$
